There are very cute mascots in the world, I feel like I can't take it when I see their pictures. Just the thought of being invaded by an army of cute, fluffy, huggable mascots makes me want go to Japan!
The "
Yuru-Chara Matsuri" event hosted by the city of Hikone, in the Shiga prefecture. I learned about the first "Yuru-Chara" (Mascot Character) Matsuri was held on Yume-Kyobashi Castle Road in Hikone in October 2008. Some 46 PR mascots adorned the road and posed for pictures. A total of 46,000 Japanese people, includes the tourists came to the festival.
Hikone is home to one of Japan's oldest and most popular "yuru-charas" (as the mascots are called), named
Hikonyan. It became known as the "
Sacred City of Yuru-Chara", and began hosting this annual gathering for yuru-charas from all over Japan. Last year the giant attendance exploded to 150 yuru-charas!
